Technology vs. Productivity

I believe we have actually become less productive despite all of the newer quicker technology out there. For some reason over the past couple of weeks we have been losing power quite often. Funny thing is I have gotten more work done, spent more time with the kids and just been overall more productive (all in the dark). Let’s face it what are you going to do when the power goes out? and you are sitting in the dark?

Take a step back over the next few days and turn off your technology (lights and refrigerator optional). I bet you become much more productive at work when you stop checking your email and rss feeds every 5 minutes. At night do not turn on the television or video games, instead get out some of those old fashioned board games or maybe even exercise as a family.

Don’t let technology get in the way of your good health.
